It's so important to have a great relationship with your physician. It's one of those

essential relationships that I find to be as important to nurture as any other relationship in your life. Without your health, you have nothing.
Joanna Garcia

Almost immediately, I remember right when Tikrit even fell, a few days after Baghdad fell, there was talks of insurgency, there was talks of jihad and of resisting the American occupiers, and slowly this turned into an organized movement.
Farnaz Fassihi

I don't have an endgame. My game is to take on any bad guys I see out there. And do the best I can until they put me under the carpet.
Carl Paladino

We have to learn not to feel guilty about letting our imagination browse around, and you know, in writing fiction particularly. But I think, in any kind of writing, we have to learn to allow ourselves to approach it in a contemplative way.
Sue Monk Kidd

I am a communicator; that seems to be my natural place. And I'll always be passionate about the world, because it's so bonkers.
Annie Lennox

Catholics are every bit as diverse as any other sort of voters out there, with conservative Democrats and moderates.
Bob Casey, Jr.

Once, right before a show, I realized I'd forgotten shoes. I didn't want to wear my flip-flops onstage because I could trip. I ended up going barefoot, which actually worked out because it became my 'thing.'
Brittany Howard

My goal is for 'The Bill Engvall Show' to be a show the networks look at and say, 'Ooh, maybe we should get back to the family sitcom.'
Bill Engvall

The Internet opens up a whole new range of possibilities in a wide range of areas.
Herbie Hancock

I was brought up in the north of Scotland, and where I lived was so lowly populated, it was used as a low-flying area by the Air Force, so lots of exciting aircraft used to fly over my village.
David Mackay

An open-minded and diverse population that readily shares information, encourages experimentation, accepts failure and dispenses with formality and hierarchy is what makes Silicon Valley the successful hub that it is.
Vivek Wadhwa

Having kids has been great for me. I have two beautiful step- kids, as well

as my own new daughter. They've really helped me to keep my feet firmly on the ground, and life is good. I feel like I'm the luckiest guy here. Matt LeBlanc I think playing somebody who's schizophrenic is such a lesson as an actor. It gets you totally out of your comfort zone, because you can't rely on your technique, your external stuff. You've really gotta look inward, in a way. Matt Dillon I grew up in the Methodist church and taught Sunday school, and one of my favorite passages of scripture is, 'in as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.' Matthew 25:40. Elizabeth Warren Every actor I ever meet goes, 'Ultimately I plan on having my own company and write and direct,' but yes, I too would love to write and direct a movie. I want to do a play, too. I want to do it all. Jason Schwartzman If the people in the audience are talking, you're being ignored. If the people are gazing at ...

When my grandfather was born, there was no healthcare. There were no airplanes.

There were no boats. There were no trains. There were no communications. No Internet. No widespread knowledge. It will be a completely different world but a much better place in a hundred years. Jamie Dimon This is sports. In sports, you win and you lose. That's the nature of sports. You can't get away from that part of it. And if you get too hung up on the losing part, then you miss the boat. The competition part, a game like that, is why you play sports. That is as good as it gets. David Robinson Climate change is a global crisis - one the international community and private sector must tackle together if we have any hope of averting the worst impacts on our health, our economies, and our communities. Tom Steyer I'm set in my own ways. I like to do the things I want to do when I want to do them. Dennis Farina I don't imagine myself, my work, or my life, fitting into any kind of standardized path. In fact, the idea of there even being a standard freaks me out a lot. ...

As a lawyer, I've dealt with really serious offences, and the public rarely hear what the true

impact is on the victims' families. When you hear it from the mouths of victims, your entire approach changes, because it could happen to anybody, and they articulate that in such a powerful way. Robert Rinder Self-imposed discipline with a bent towards results rather than 'creative' and sustainability spending is unfortunately not the norm in the marketing industry. Ryan Holiday The Libertadores is sensational, but the Champions League... The first time I heard the anthem was a really special feeling. It's like being in a video game; it's living the dream of every child. Neymar You can't reason with gang violence: you can't talk to it, sit it at the table, and negotiate with it. Greg Boyle Growing up, I did not have many friends with parents who were together. Adam Scott The TV mini-series is kind of a lost genre because the networks have given up on it. Bonnie Hammer The 'Bolton News' is the best place for online comments. They say I'm an abs...

Children want to mimic adults. They notice when you choose to prepare fresh vegetables over

calling in another pizza pie for dinner. They will see that food made with love and care outweighs going through the drive-through window. Marcus Samuelsson I've been drawing authors and politicians for newspapers for many years. I try to read up on the person; in the case of authors, read one of their books. I watch interviews via YouTube and collect pictures via the Internet. Siegfried Woldhek I have no interest in becoming a tax exile and living somewhere I don't want to - I just want to be at home with my family. Rafael Nadal We know that once we stop learning and call ourselves learned, we become useless members of the scientific society. Christian de Duve I started in the supermarket business in the early '70s. And by '75, '76, I realized you don't have a business unless you own the real estate. John Catsimatidis I'm really interested in smells. I think I'd like to own a perfumery someday. Kurt Cobain I never really liked the Gosp...

In Giacometti's work, the armature has once again become the life-line of the

sculpture, and also, he's brought back to sculpture a nervous sensitivity which the 'pure carving' side of sculpture can lose sight of altogether. Henry Moore It's really fun to get into that process of creating an album and telling a story. I really love it. Gretchen Parlato If I got a chance to play with another great player, I want to do that. I mean, the objective is to win. Charles Barkley I'm still 19, and I've got a lot to learn. I've got to keep improving and not get too carried away with myself. Dele Alli There is power in helping people get excited about what they do and inspiring and motivating them to unleash their full potential. Denise Morrison When we fought for freedom, for the establishment of a Jewish state, we didn't send a questionnaire to the Jewish nation asking if it wanted a Jewish state. Yitzhak Shamir I had originally wanted to be a lawyer. Even when I went to college and majored in engineering, I still thought I'd get a la...

Environmental problems cannot be resolved here the way they are resolved in other countries. I

heard that 80 per cent of the environmental problems in the U.S. are solved in court. That can't happen here. Ma Jun I don't care where you went to school. There - have I made your day? No? All right, I'll go further: I also don't care what your dad did for a living or how your mum voted. Nor do I mind whether you ate your tea in front of the telly, dinner at the kitchen table, or supper in the dining room. Robert Webb The word 'art' interests me very much. If it comes from Sanskrit, as I've heard, it signifies 'making.' Now everyone makes something, and those who make things on a canvas with a frame, they're called artists. Formerly, they were called craftsmen, a term I prefer. We're all craftsmen, in civilian or military or artistic life. Marcel Duchamp I was an anxious kid. I worried about getting homework finished, even back when homework didn't count for anything. Andrea Seigel You really do have the license during fashio...

We need to establish boundaries between our personal and professional lives. When we don't, our

work, our health, and our personal lives suffer. Travis Bradberry Originality is dangerous. Salman Rushdie I think the War on Terror is really absurd, especially coming from a country that is founded on terrorism. Alice Walker If I hear about a tsunami that hit Asia, hundreds of people have lost their lives, and you see it and you hear about it, but you still brush your teeth, still have to go on with your day. But let you get information about one person who you're close to or you're intimate with, it has an almost paralyzing effect. Ryan Coogler Once you have a computer that can do a few things - strictly speaking, one that has a certain 'sufficient set' of basic procedures - it can do basically anything any other computer can do. This, loosely, is the basis of the great principle of 'Universality'. Richard P. Feynman My plays are always pushing towards cinema anyway. They're down and dirty, real and more fun. Martin McDonagh I consider m...

Also by my earliest days, I was fascinated by a utopian vision of what the

world could be like. I've thought that science could be the basis for a better world, and that's what I've been trying to do all these years. George E. Brown, Jr. Marriage is an adventure, like going to war. Gilbert K. Chesterton Simplicity and repose are the qualities that measure the true value of any work of art. Frank Lloyd Wright I believe that present day civilized man suffers from insufficient discharge of his aggressive drive. Konrad Lorenz Democracy is constructed like an edifice, freedom by freedom, right by right, until it reaches its snapping point. Abdoulaye Wade Ecstasy is not really part of the scene we can do on celluloid. Orson Welles It's bad when you fail morally. It's worse when you don't repent. Luis Palau

Nobody can deny but religion is a comfort to the distressed, a cordial to the

sick, and sometimes a restraint on the wicked; therefore whoever would argue or laugh it out of the world without giving some equivalent for it ought to be treated as a common enemy. Mary Wortley Montagu The House of Commons, refused to receive the addresses of the colonies, when the matter was pending; besides, we hold our rights neither from them nor from the Lords. Christopher Gadsden I think the crucial thing in the writing career is to find what you want to do and how you fit in. What somebody else does is of no concern whatever except as an interesting variation. James A. Michener It seems we are capable of immense love and loyalty, and as capable of deceit and atrocity. It's probably this shocking ambivalence that makes us unique. John Scott I may attempt a novel. I think that no matter what you write, it requires being honest with oneself, and you have to pull yourself out of the whirlwind of daily life. Iris Chang Desire creates the power. Raymond Holliwell...

I certainly didn't say while writing 'Gossip Girl,' 'Oh this is going to

be big!' It was really like, 'Oh god, everyone's gong to hate these people! They're so bratty!' But I actually think what is so appealing about them is the humor in them. Cecily von Ziegesar I've had meetings with Fidel Castro. I've had meetings with Kim Il-Sung. I've had meetings with other dictators. I've met with the Butcher of Beijing. You know, I think it's important to hear, you know, each other's perspective. Gary Ackerman I've had over a dozen models come in and pose fro me live for these new Cirque pieces. Cirque is a world-wide phenomenon and they are just incredible athletes. I've been to all the performances and am really fascinated by all of their productions. Richard MacDonald I wasn't the best in my class at the Royal Academy. There was a really good soprano and baritone who were technically better and are doing really well in opera now. But I was definitely the best mezzo-soprano in my class, because I was...
